I, on the other hand, don't regret hearing all that Aizen's plans bashing. Without such prior warning these eps would have been even more ridiculous. Almost more ridiculous than Ichigo listening to it all and getting all depressed to the point he forgot what he was doing in the first place.

I also approved Ichigo telling his dad he doesn't need to tell everything. The first wise and mature words from Ichigo for as long as I can remember. This fricking battle has seen too much talking anyway. The last thing we need added into the middle of it is Ichigo's family history.
